The Cost of Immortality [SSC8, SPAIN]

[Verse 1 – The Beginning of the Pact] The night was cold, the sky a slate of iron, We whispered vows beneath the ancient tower’s crown. Your eyes were fire, a promise forged in silence, And time itself bent low to hear us bound. “Live forever,” you breathed, “and watch the world turn,” But every breath will carve a scar upon the soul. The candle’s flame grew brighter, never waned, Yet shadows stretched where mortal hearts once stole. [Pre‑Chorus 1 – The First Echo] Every sunrise paints a portrait of the same, Eternity repeats the colors we once claimed. The echo of our laughter fades to stone, While the world spins on, indifferent, alone. [Hook/Chorus – The Weight of Endless Days] Immortality, a crown of glass that shatters, Every moment lived, a whisper lost in thunder. We chase the light, but darkness clings to skin, The price we pay is never truly winning. Hold the hourglass, feel the sand slip through, Time’s cruel joke: forever, but never new. In the silence of a thousand years, we hear Our own heartbeats fading, drowned by fear. [Verse 2 – The Rise of Empires] Cities rose like phoenixes, then fell to ash, Kings crowned themselves on thrones of fleeting dust. We watched empires crumble, watched lovers crash, While our own pulse kept ticking, stubborn, just. The world sang songs of love, of war, of loss, Each chorus looping, echoing the same refrain. Our names etched on stone, yet none recall the cost, For memory is a river that forgets its own name. [Pre‑Chorus 2 – The Hollow Crown] Gold turns to rust when you can’t let go, Even gods grow weary of the endless show. The mirror shows a face that never ages, But eyes that bleed with centuries’ cages. [Hook/Chorus – The Weight of Endless Days] Immortality, a crystal cage of sorrow, Every sunrise steals another borrowed tomorrow. We chase the sun, yet shadows cling to bone, The price we bear is living all alone. Hold the hourglass, feel the grains collide, Time’s cruel jest: eternal, yet denied. In the hush of endless nights, we hear Our own breaths fade, a phantom we revere. [Bridge – The Moment of Reckoning] One breath, one choice: break the chain or stay... To end the song before the final note decays. The blade of fate glints, sharp as winter’s sigh, Will you surrender to the night, or learn to fly? If death is a curtain, then life’s a fleeting stage, And every act we write is ink upon a page. The cost of endless verses is a silent scream, To trade forever for a single, fleeting dream. [Final Chorus – Release or Remain] Immortality, the echo of a dying star, We’re bound to rise, yet fall wherever we are. The world keeps turning, relentless, blind, And we must choose; let go, or stay confined. Hold the hourglass, feel the final grain slip, Time’s gentle hand: soft, a tender, fleeting grip. In the quiet after all the ages cease, We find our peace, or drown in endless lease. [Outro – Fade Into Silence] The last chord lingers, a breath held in the dark, The curtain falls, the audience departs. If eternity’s a song you cannot end, Let this final line be where the story bends.
